Delaware Met Will Remain Open; Highlights of Meeting

I attended the Delaware Met Special meeting tonight with Rep. Kowalko. Here are a few things that I wrote down during the meeting.

During September the school has had climate issues.

Ms. Hunter the school’s leader is out on leave and the interim leader is Sean Gallager

Board member Nash Childs could not be there due to medical issues.
